About this statute

This law governs negotiable instruments. This provision says the law applies to negotiable instruments: bill of exchange, cheque, and promissory note. This article defines the main terms used in the law on negotiable instruments. A negotiable instrument must meet listed formal requirements, including being written or electronic, signed, containing an unconditional payment promise or order, being payable on demand or at a fixed time, being payable to order or bearer, naming the drawee with reasonable certainty, and stating the date of issue. A negotiable instrument may be signed by an authorised person rather than by the drawer personally.
